so after work yesterday i took a drive out to bamber lakes to go wheel my favorite spot. i brought a few contractor trash bags because last time i was out there i could see all the beer cans and other garbage strewn about along the trails, make shift fire pits and lake shore. i got out there and started picking some stuff up, about 30 min into my work a blacked out Durango pulls up and a game warden approaches me. At this point i have two bags filled to the brim with beer cans, he askes what im doin out here and i said that im cleaning up all this garbage because i enjoy coming out here and dont wan see trash all over. the warden starts naming off all the reasons he should impound my vehicle and arrest me. he says well this area isnt private property but you must of used private roads to get here since the other trail has a giant oak down across the trail. And how is he supposed to know im not the one who drank all that beer. i mean i can drink alot of beer but there must have at least 100 cans and bottles out there lol. any way he says come stand by my truck and he calls his superior to come out to our location. i couldnt believe this was happening when im trying to do something good. about 20 minutes later another truck pulls up, this time it was a 2011 power wagon (bad ass!). the second warden gets out and starts talking to the first. after a few minutes the first warden hops in his truck and leaves. the new warden comes up to me and asks if ive been drinking and if i had any weapons or drugs on me. i said no and that i was only out here to clean up because i love these trails and i want to make sure they stay open. he laughed and said well i appreciate what your doing out here and i wish others would be responsible for the trash they produce out here.
we talked about my jeep for a few minutes and about his power wagon which was cool. after a little bit he said dont worry about that guy hes a prick and said he would take the bags i already filled so i wouldnt have any problems if i got stopped again. i really cant believe that first warden was such a dick, im not out there doing anything wrong, i always clean up after my self and try to make it as if i was never there except for a few tire tracks, sure i may be driving on some private roads but there is absolutely no reason they should be private. i wish i got the second wardens name, he was such a cool guy. just wanted to share that experience.
